If the beginning of the series is amazing (there is no word strong enough), this album is unfortunately his weak point. The characters are still as endearing, deep and true, unexpected and interresting situaions ... but that's the bottom Blaisse. Far from being a bad boring book, volume is not so thrilling, and leaves some bitterness compared to other volumes. Make no mistake: it is however essential to read because the plot is too well done to resist the temptation to know its denouement. And the last book revives the quality of the preceding volumes.
